Car and Vehicle Care made easy
by Car Skin
Final Finish, is technically a very advanced formulation of polymers which result in a fantastic, long lasting, better than showroom shine. It provides great depth of colour and intensity to the paintwork, it is also resistant to soapy detergent type shampoos, and is also resistant to UV and salt. We would recommend that Final Finish is used as a ‘top off’ at the end of using Car-Skins Paint Protection system, but it can also be used independently. It is simplicity itself to apply, no physical effort is required, just apply sparingly to all the paintwork, preferably with a micro fiber applicator pad or cloth and leave to dry. Simply wipe over the paintwork with a soft clean cloth, like our Soft Buff, to leave the paintwork with a shine you would have not thought possible. Their is no dusty, chalky residue from this product.
To creat that magnificent shine and prepare all the bodywork the above is 1 of the unique products used;
Look at the site which is www.car-skinltd.com and see the results from using Paint Protection 1 and then followed by using Paint Protector 2 which is the sealant,this is wher Final Finish will come into it’s own.

Mansory Porsche Panamera Turbo
The Panamera is the first sedan that Porsche has put into production. Many Porsche purists scoffed at the idea, declaring that the car “wasn’t a true Porsche.” The Cayenne was also initially frowned upon by Porsche enthusiasts but has since been one of the most successful models that the German automaker has ever produced. The Panamera is also enjoying successful sales, and to carve out a niche in the market, Mansory has created a complete tuning program for the Panamera Turbo that sends 690 horsepower to all four Panamera wheels.
The most inspiring aspect of the Panamera Turbo by Mansory lies underneath the hood. The 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 has been boosted with a new power pack. The pack consists of an ECU retune, larger turbochargers for more boost pressure, and a stainless steel sport exhaust system to reduce backpressure. These upgrades help the 4.8-liter produce 690 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. Power is sent through a Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four monoblock wheels, rocketing the sedan to 62 mph in just four seconds and to a top speed of 328 km/h.
If the high-powered engine isn’t captivating enough, Mansory has designed a conspicuous aerodynamic kit for the Panamera. The new bodywork is made of high-strength polyurethane (PU-RIM) and Prepreg-Autoclav-Carbon. The front features a new skirt with LED daytime running lights while a carbon fiber hood exudes confidence. Each side of the Panamera has been widened with new fenders and aerodynamic side skirts for a muscular appearance. The rear wears a large carbon fiber diffuser and static carbon fiber spoiler for added downforce at high speeds.
The exterior is finished off with a new set of monoblock wheels and new tires for better performance. The stock Panamera wheels were not strong enough to handle the increased power of the 4.8-liter V-8, so Mansory replaced them with durable turbine-style monoblock wheels. At the front axle the new rims measure 9 x 22, while the rear staggers with 10 x 22s. These new 22-inch Panamera wheels are shod in sticky Dunlop SP SportMaxx 265/30ZR22 front and 295/25ZR22 rear tires for better grip.
The program wouldn’t be complete unless Mansory refined the interior of the German sedan. The interior can be custom tailored by Mansory with fine woods, varnish, or carbon matched with an unlimited palette of leather colors. To improve the driving experience, new aluminum pedals were installed along with a newly designed sports steering wheel.
The entire program for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is currently available from Mansory. The price of the entire package has not been released by the German tuner.
How to Maintain a Hybrid Car
There are nearly two million registered hybrid vehicles within the U.S. today, and more than 50 percent of respondents to a recent online survey said they’re considering a hybrid purchase within the next five years. Searching out and finding the right car loan for one of these can also be a daunting task.
As popular as the vehicles are, some buyers worry that hybrids can be more expensive and more difficult to maintain than a non-hybrid vehicle. In fact, routine maintenance is actually that of a non-hybrid vehicle-and might even be cheaper in some cases. Following are a few general guidelines on maintaining a hybrid vehicle. Always consult your vehicle manual for information and maintenance schedules specific to your car.
Oil changes: For non-hybrid cars, a 3,000-mile interval between oil changes has long been the standard. (Even though experts are convinced that new oil blends permit a longer interval between changes.) For hybrid cars, a less frequent interval of 5,000-10,000 miles between oil changes is considered standard. Auto experts might point to oil and oil filters for hybrids that are different from manufacturer recommendations. These filters can cost a bit more, but it’s for you to decide which recommendations you choose to follow.
Brakes: Brake pads in a hybrid may get less wear (due to the vehicle’s regenerative braking capabilities). So you’ll likely to end up in a position to replace them less frequently. Inspect brakes every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.
Batteries: Replace the air filter on the hybrid high voltage battery system every 20,000 to 40,000 miles. If the high voltage battery isn’t maintaining 60 to 70 percent of their charge, it’s time for you to replace it-and that’s about $3,000. (The good news? The warranties on a hybrid’s high voltage propulsion motor battery are up to 8 years/100,000 miles and achieving 150,000 miles from an original battery isn’t unusual.)
Drive Train: The internal combustion engine, electric motor and transmission are interconnected in a hybrid and may have different maintenance requirements than vehicles you might have previously owned. Only qualified technicians should check or make an effort to service components of the high voltage hybrid drive system and battery.
Financing: Many of the manufacturers are offering special auto financing plans aimed at the hybrid buyer. However, many consumers are looking online for all of their auto loan needs. By researching and gaining your financing before stepping foot in the dealership, you are more in control of the car buying process. What most consumers are starting to realize is the finance department is one if not the largest profit center in most dealerships. Having that financing taken care of up front eliminates the dealer from being able to profit from that portion of the sale.

Justin Timberlake Revs Up Media Attention on his Motorbike
Manchester UK (PRWEB) September 1, 2009
But ‘The Trouser Snake’ isn’t the only LA celebrity to rev up a media storm, Ocean’s Eleven stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney are both well known for their love of two wheels. George’s favourite brand of bike is Harley Davidson and Brad has an extensive collection of very expensive motorbikes, many of which are customised, purchased from a little known company called Confederate.
Motorbikes have been a staple in Hollywood for many years and some of the greatest moments on silver screen feature two wheels. A survey of 1,000 customers by Swinton bikes, one of the UK’s leading providers of motorbike insurance, has revealed the nation’s favourite motorbike movie moments:
1. The Great Escape, Steve McQueen escaping on a Triumph TT Special 650cc (modified)
2. Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger on a Harley Davidson Fatboy
3. Top Gun, Tom Cruise riding a Kawasaki GPZ 900R
4. Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie on a Yamaha TRX850 (modified)
5. The Matrix Reloaded, Keanu Reaves riding a Ducati 996
Anthony Aronin, Head of Swinton Bike Insurance said: “Motorbike enthusiasts are both loyal and committed; however, we often see spikes of enquiries from potential new bikers. These can often be attributed to films that feature spectacular bike scenes or top celebrities taking to the streets on their sporty new motorcycles.
“Justin Timberlake is just one of a long line of celebrities to realise the fun and freedom that comes with riding a motorbike.”

National Van Builders Inc. realizes that in order to be competitive in the online market they would have to strengthen their image in the search engine space. They realize that more and more people frequent a search engine to find what they need and having a strong presence online would be a must. The days of visiting the yellow pages to find what you need are slowly coming to an end. The re-launch of their website comes with their new eagerness to take their digital reputation to a new level. National Van Builders Inc. was started back in 1992 marketing and selling new and used wheelchair vans, ambulances and passenger vans. Since then many new changes of occurred in the way all businesses market to their audience. National Vans spent a great deal of time marketing these new and used vehicles and then just 2 years later they opened their manufacturing plant. National Van Builders Inc. specializes in catering towards the private and also public institutions and their needs for commercial vehicles. Organizations from hospitals to prisons have purchased vehicles through them for their transportation needs. National Vans, located in Massachusetts have had to expand their operations in order to keep up with growing demand for vehicles. They now have the ability to produce over 50 units per/month.
For more information regarding the passenger vans available, please visit the website at the following link: http://www.nationalvans.com/models/passenger_vans.html

Their website now breaks down each and every one of the commercial vehicles they build so website traffic can clearly see what it is that they offer. Web traffic can now have the ultimate convenience by being able to view current inventory right on the website without having to leave the comfort of their own home or even pick up the phone. Any time a website can streamline a process on their website they have a better chance of keeping that visitor and converting them into either a sale or a phone call for further information. National Van Builders Inc. realizes that to have a successful website you must be able to lead the client down a path. The information must be easily accessible for every website visitor. If a website is cluttered or littered with distraction that visitor is going to stray and find another website that offers a cleaner approach. Your website has only a few seconds to give a precise message and if the message does not make it across to that website visitor that chances of them making it back very slim.
